2020 Punta Crena Pigato Riviera Ligure di Ponente, Liguria, Italy
$29.99
Pigato is a genetic variation of Vermentino that developed around the 18th century and was probably
named for its pighe—“freckles” in the local dialect, referring to its spotty skin. Today the two
varieties are often confused because they are frequently planted together and cross-pollinate in the
vineyards, but the difference is evident when they are kept separate, as at Punta Crena. In order to
demonstrate this distinction scientifically the Ruffinos are planning to provide cuttings of their own
vines to a local university for comparative genetic testing.
